Dear Ask Ubuntu users,
I recently created a new partition on my Dell XPS 15 laptop (with already installed Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS on different partitions) and installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on it. In first instance, I installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS with three different partitions: root, swap and home. After successfully installing Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, I tried to boot into Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS by selecting it in the GRUB menu. However, I got the error Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. I have checked several answers on this platform, but a lot of them are related to upgrading from one Ubuntu version to the other, while I just installed Ubuntu on different partitions. I couldn't resolve the issue and thought it might be an issue with the three partitions I created for Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.
Therefore, I have now installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS with only one partition, tried boot-repair, but it didn't resolve the issue. When I now try to boot into Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS, I get a similar error as before (I am not sure what was the cause of the Failed to start Load Kernel Modules error before), with the following output when running sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service:
Output of sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
The issue seems to be related to the evdi module, but I don't know how to resolve this issue and I also don't know how to get internet access in emergency mode in order to try some solutions posted on this platform.
In case it might be necessary information to resolve the issue, I have included the outputs of blkid and sudo nano /etc/fstab as well:
Output of blkid
Output of sudo nano /etc/fstab
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT
Currently, I am able to boot into Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS again. The emergency mode was caused by a wrongly mounted shared data NTFS partition (after adjusting the size of this partition and installing Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, the UUID of this partition changed and the nofail option was not present in /etc/fstab).
However, when I run sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service, I still get Failed to find module 'evdi' as indicated above. Anyone who knows how to solve this problem?
